Re: [emax] Uni-Flash USB alternative to the PCD 50/60B?

2013-10-29 by jammie

the dss1 is on revision 4 boards and still have scsi but does not really need it
i fitted version 1 to version 4 boards for customers and im the registered installer for tom in uk
as he had lots of damaged ram boards by diy,ers and now does not sell to people only if they use one of his authorize installers
he is working on the dsm1 next which i will be beta testing when available

Let me know how the Korg Dss-1 USB drive goes, I'm doing the same upgrade on my Dss-1. Kit looks real professional, i noticed how the first version was for SCSI, but was dropped in favor of the USB which makes sense.
I second the comment on Silicon Valley, monopoly money for real. Wasn't the Emax made in Scotts Valley? (15min from the Valley)
Thanks Again Ted for your insight on things

to make a scsi to cf device very cheap you would need to have a garanteed user base 1000000+ unit manufacture so parts cost could be cheap but we are talking in millions of cash even before selling 1 item in parts manufacture wages taxes transport

if it were that easy it would of been done and made
and as ted said a diy solution is going to cost a lot more in parts costs alone

I say we bribe or pay SCM company to remanufacture the PCD's en mass but this time around use earth friendly materials and write firmware that makes every one of the Lund slots SCSI slots instead & compatible with SCSI I II and III protocol.
Sounds easy as pie, right?
Ha ha!
I imagine if you could do something like this you could sell these things to every musician on the planet wishing to upgrade their old SCSI machine with flash card capability
Imagine the market!
Ted, wanna start a business?
How hard do you think it would be to create a 'universal' SCSI flash card reader writer compatible with all SCSI capable musical instruments?
You and Jammie seem to know more about the possibility of something like this being feasible so both your thoughts on this kind of thing even becoming a possibility?
